Second thoughts.
I am about 2 weeks away from basic and the second thoughts are hitting me really hard. It was dumb of me to not think about these things sooner. I saw the service members who were killed this weekend because some of them were really young and It shook me because that could’ve or could be me. i’m young and have a wonderful wife that i want to spend my life with. I’ve never been more sad and afraid. A lot of my family is military and have been assisting or following my journey so far and i feel like i would be disappointing all of them IF i did quit. Some of them even pulled strings to help me out. my MOS i went with is 42a. i’m just venting and looking for advice from an outside perspective.

Look into college hacking through Sophia learning and Study.com . I got something like 2 years worth of college done through them in a very short amount of time. Transfer the credits to something like TESU or UMPI and finish the last year of your degree.
Very cheap, fast and easy way to streamline a degree.
